11/05 - Tardy Tuesday!

it'd be nice if he could just e-jack over the internet

 

RIGHT??? This will be me peeking up from my crawl space.

There's no immediate issue. Contractor said could be 20 years before there is, or like, never. Can't tell when it was off center. Could have been BUILT that way. But under the house looks great...can't tell there's an issue from there.

Can only tell IN MY BEDROOM, which is great. I'm just going to seal that part of the house off when Kiddo moves out. Who needs another room, eh?

 

There are sites. I could recommend a few.

I've done three today and they all took less than 10 minutes

 

I legitimately don't know a nicer word for someone who can say something so stupid in 140 characters or less.

 

I prefer "overgrown shit-eating louse", but to each his own.

It's just so consistent with every time I see Prolific mentioned it's frustrating.

Though I'm legit curious, am I being an ash hole on this one? Here is how I see it:

• Advertise X over Y
• Bash Y categorically (despite being able to advertise X w/o actually including this step)
• When called out, throw out some buzz words then say "but you're the expert"
  • One buzz word leaves absolutely no logical conclusion that the tweet-ee has the faintest clue wtf they're talking about
  • ..seriously, you cannot have "naive" participants on a platform whose sole purpose is psych research. One time seeing the trolley experiment is enough.
  • Followup buzz word ("deception") is same deal as the first so all the same conclusions apply
• Disappears into whatever shithole they crawled out of and refuses to retract the needless bashing of everyone else in the world trying to get by (not just us workers, but the hundreds/thousands of researchers doing their dirty on MTurk / etc)

And this is so consistent with Prolific and NO ONE ELSE. There are half a dozen other research platforms that don't consistently produce this kind of garbage on social media 24/7.

Prolific is a turd. Amazon is a turd. I've been too busy making fat stacks on Daemo to give a hoot about anything else these days.
